What happens when a business student in Chongqing follows her acting dreams? For Beninese talent Alazi Soumaila Rawdoth, known as Mulan, it meant landing a pivotal role in China’s hit film \"Formed Police Unit\" – and stealing scenes alongside A-listers Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo! 🎥
Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Lee Tat-Chiu, the action-packed drama has earned over ¥436 million (US$60M) since its Labor Day release, ranking third in China’s box office this week. 🌍✨
Rawdoth plays Selina’s mother, a West African villager whose family is torn apart by violence. \"She’s the most important witness to the killings,\" Rawdoth explained. \"The Chinese peacekeepers risk everything to get her testimony to court.\" 💔➡️⚖️
The film’s cross-cultural narrative resonates globally, proving art bridges continents. As Mulan’s star rises, she reminds us: sometimes, the boldest dreams start in lecture halls. 📚✨
